He was predeceased by his wife, Jillane of 51 years; their infant daughter, Sandra; his parents and all nine of his brothers and sisters. Peter was born on October 19, 1923 on the family farm near Bow Island. He attended the Selz school. He started farming on his own in 1947. After harvest, he, along with a few neighbors, went to Picture Butte to work at the Sugar Factory. While in Picture Butte, he met Jillane Jozsa, who was teaching there at the time. They were married on July 10, 1951. All of their children were born while they lived on the farm in the Conquerville area. Peter loved to spend time with his family and especially looked forward to their visits. Lately many of them were video chats. But he was able to keep in touch with his family. He enjoyed farming, playing crib and played any chance he got, even on his last day. He usually won more games than he lost. Peter was a member of the Conquerville Lions and long-time member of the Knights of Columbus. Attending mass was very important to him and he would listen to it daily. Peter’s family would like to send a special thank you to the staff at the Bow Island Lodge and Bow Island Hospital for the loving attention that he received during his stay with them. You went above and beyond with your care. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a private funeral mass will be celebrated in St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church, Bow Island on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. with Fr. Wojciech Jarzecki celebrant. Family and friends are invited to remotely attend the funeral mass by going to Youtube – search for Pattison Funeral Home. The streaming will go live about 10 minutes prior to the mass time. Interment will follow in the Bow Island Cemetery.
